I would really like to start making videos. What software do you guys use? Is there any good freeware?
I used the built-in 'ShadowPlay' feature on my Nvidia GTX760. I think it only works on the newer series 7 cards, though. Maybe some of the higher-end GTX6** series too?
What's cool is that, besides just plain recording your gameplay, you can also set it to record a specific amount of time
prior to your present time. So you don't have to use up a bunch of recording space on your drive that you won't be using. Although the earlier version of ShadowPlay I used would occasionally get a digital vid glitch (I think there is a very brief example in one of my vids).
The recording quality is okay in ShadowPlay, and you can do some basic adjustments. My vids above can be tough to make out little details at lower resolutions just because the game's colors are mostly dark earthy tones - so it can be tough to spot other aircraft, for example. The recordings turned out alright. I believe there was a recent ShadowPlay update too.
Dunno if you even have a ShadowPlay compatible video card, but it's nice because 1) It's Free! and 2) It's easy to use.
